Calling All Sistahs "Remind a Sistah" Blog Hop!





Hello, sistahs (and any mistahs who might be visiting!)  This month we're having a twist on our monthly CAS-ual Friday Calling All Sistahs blog hop called Remind a Sistah.  All of us in the hop will be making projects that we can send to a sistah to remind them of the importance of doing their monthly self exam and yearly mammograms.





To make my card I stamped one of the stamps from Starlequin on some white card stock using VersaMark ink and heat embossed in white.  Next I colored over the white embossing using Tim Holtz Distress Crayons (Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry, and Mermaid Lagoon).  I sprayed the paper with some water and used my finger to blend the color.  When the paper was completely dry I used the 2 smaller tags from Tag Buddies Fri-Dies to cut out the tags.  The sentiment "you better check yourself" is from Calling All Sistahs, "hey there" is from Girlfriend, and the word "girl" was die cut using Sistahs Fri-Dies.  I cut a few hearts from black card stock using Fun-Fetti Fri-Dies and added Glossy Accents to make them shine.  This card is 3 3/4" X 5 1/2".






I hope you'll consider making some cards to send out to your friends and loved ones to remind them to check themselves.  I hope you'll also consider joining us at the Calling All Sistahs Facebook group.  Anyone can join the group and participate in our monthly blog hops to help spread this important message! To help you make your cards CAS-ual Fridays carries a wonderful line of stamps and dies just for this purpose, the Calling All Sistahs Collection50% of the profits from the sales of the Calling All Sistahs Collection goes to National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. for research and medical help!

I hope that you'll hop along with us!  There will be a $15.00 gift certificate to the CAS-ual Fridays store given to 3 people who comment along the hop.  Comments close on August 19th @ 12:00 AM EST.  Your next stop on the hop is the talented RAHMAT GOUSE!
